    Hello!

    I've recently bought my new DELL Xps 15 (L502x) Core i5-2410M, 4gb ram, Geforce 540M and every game I play pendling from 60 - 15 fps. I've noticed that change the graphic settings wont affect the fps decrease.

    From the beginning I was playing World of Warcraft, Left4Dead 2 and somewhat newer games. I was a bit dissapointed that this spec wont make it better but when I started to play Counter-Strike and there still was fps decrease and laggs that I never had on my old computer I believe there is some strangeproblem going on.

    I've already tested:
    - Install ALL new drivers that can be found at Drivrutiner & nedladdningar
    - Installed Graphic Drivers for Geforce 540M at nVidias homepage
    - Tested various energy and performance settings for both battery and the graphic card.
    - Checked the temparatures while gaming; the GPU Core at ~85 C and rest ~50-60 C

    Is there anyone else experience this problem? At least i've seen rewievs about this computer to perform much better than this.
    Any tips or solutions is really appriciated!

    Thank you for helping!
